This was the result.

Here you can see I made a double flange.

Then I made another ring of anodised aluminum of 2mm thick.

Here you can see this piece fits into the outer flange.

Here you can see that this will all get mounted on the diaphragm

Then I needed to make the outer and final ring.

This will be tightened, against all of my principles, with 6 screws. Had the opportunity to glue it, but doubted if that would look good

Here you can see I made 2 more flanges.

See this all mounted.on.

With a little cube of 5mm thick, I want to show you how I will tighten this Around the diaphragm will get a lot of carbon fibre, I can stop nicely on the aluminum, and I can roll the ring against it, for a perfect finish.

I’m pretty satisfied about the mill-work. There has been a lot of work on this, but in the meanwhile that’s long forgotton..

What’s next now you ask… Well the dull, boring jobs as usual. Rubbing, abrading, ….and holding everything to the polish-brush.

In the meanwhile a friend of mine, who has a big lathe (turning bench?) made me some axis, who will get placed onto the window-wiper-motor.

These are only 8mm diameter on the top, and so it will all open and close more slowly…and this was how I wanted it.

My last last problem with the opening and closing, I managed to solve.

The steel cable turned on nicely onto the axis, but when it need to go the other direction, it got loose cause the cable was to stiff, and the spring didn’t have enoughtcounter balance.

A simple trick… I used nylon. The kind they use to catch silurus-fish, it’s has traction limit of 120kg, and is nicely supple / elastic.

Now it’ll rolls in sweet and all the problems are gone.

I was getting sick of fucking in the trunk with a normal during lamp. I had about 3 of those, and throwed them all in the bin today. No more asshole lamp in my trunk.

I got to the store, and got me some normal 20 watts lights, and a couple of meters of cable. Hanged it in the trunk in a descent way, so it didn't bother me.

It's a little update, but it's so luxurious now, really, and it gives me some warmth also.

So the diaphragm will stay, like it sits now. As you can see, I raised it for a couple of centimeters.

I managed to do so by setting the backrest of the rearseat 3 cm more straight. The 2 toggles where the seat klicks into, I replaced.

As long as I have the car, no one has ever sat in the back, so not going to let that bother me.

Now I have only one more problem, and that's the spring I need to place.

It'll get tight for that I think, but that problem I'm used to by now :)
